Colleges and Universities League: DCU 2-1 UCD

UCD SECURE SECOND UNIVERSITY CUP IN AS MANY MONTHS

UCD 2-1 DIT Colleges and Universities Football League Final Tolka Park 24 February 2010 By Brian de Salvo Pre-match pasta for DIT at Bertie's favourite hostelry, Fagans of Drumcondra. Scrambled eggs for the Students at the Skylon. Congratulations to both chefs.

SPLIT PERSONALITY

It's a football first. The manager who hopes one of his players will have a poor game. Diarmuid McNally, whose UCD side will be hoping to add the CUFL trophy to the Harding cup won earlier this month, won't be selecting midfielder Stephen Roche. He can't.

FALCONER: RUTHLESS BIRD OF PREY

UCD went into this game knowing that they would have a fierce contest on their hands. The last four Collingwood Cup competitions have been shared out between UCD and UUJ while they have met regularly in the latter stages of this competition in the same period. UCD lined up against UUJ expecting more of the same, in the end they ran out comfortable 6-1 winners.
